Wearable Voice Control for Mobile Camera Mode Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals require manual activation of photographing functions, which is inconvenient and lacks remote control capabilities, especially via gestures.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal photographing control method and system using smart wearable devices that receive and recognize voice commands, transmitting them to the mobile terminal to activate corresponding photographing functions, eliminating the need for manual switching.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual activation of photographing functions is used, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a wearable device as an intermediary between the user and the mobile terminal's photographing functions. The wearable device receives voice commands from the user and transmits them to the mobile terminal, enabling hands-free operation without adding complexity to the terminal itself. This mediator approach resolves the contradiction by offloading the voice recognition and command transmission functionality to a separate wearable device.
2Ease of operation
If remote control via voice command is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the voice control functionality into a separate wearable device module. Instead of integrating voice recognition and remote control capabilities directly into the mobile terminal, the system divides the functionality: the wearable device handles voice command acquisition and transmission, while the mobile terminal executes the photographing functions. This segmentation improves ease of operation through voice control while distributing complexity across multiple devices.
3Productivity
If manual switching between photographing modes is required, then ease of operation is maintained, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual switching operation with voice-based acoustic control. Users can switch between photographing modes (such as photo, video, panorama) by issuing voice commands to the wearable device, which transmits the mode selection to the mobile terminal. This substitution eliminates the need for manual button pressing or touchscreen interaction, improving both productivity by enabling faster mode switching and ease of operation through hands-free control.

AI summary
A mobile terminal photographing control method and system based on smart wearable devices is provided. The smart wearable device acquires and recognizes a voice command, and transmits the voice command to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives the voice command and compares the voice command against a preset list including control commands corresponding to various photographing functions of the mobile terminal. When the command matching the voice command is found in the preset control commands list, the mobile terminal activates the corresponding photographing function and feeds back a match success command to the wearable device. The user doesn't have to manually switch the photographing functions of the mobile terminal, which brings huge convenience to the user.
